4. Connecting an analog audio device
such as AM/FM tuner or cassette tape
deck
When connecting the audio output from an analog audio device
such as AM/FM tuner, cassette tape deck, or video deck to the MB-
S1, you can record the audio signal onto the HDD.
Connect the analog output terminals on the analog audio device to
the ANALOG INPUT terminal on the MB-S1.
Notes:
Insert the plugs and connectors securely. Remember that
improper connection can result in noise, or malfunctions.
Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or
speaker cables. Doing so may cause deterioration of the audio
signal.
When you place the MB-S1 near a TV, the picture on the TV
may become poor and the output sound from the MB-S1 may be
distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV.
5. Connecting the power cord
Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
Connecting the MB-S1
Connecting to other components
Here is detailed explanation of how to connect the main
components to the MB-S1. When connecting, refer to the diagram
on page 14.
1. Connecting to an amplifier
Connect the analog terminals on the MB-S1 to the CD, TAPE, or
MD terminal on the amplifier.
Notice:
When you connect the MB-S1 to the Onkyo TX-L5, use the HD
terminal on the rear panel of the TX-L5
2. Connecting an external CD or DVD
player
When connecting a CD player, DVD player, CS tuner, or DAT deck
equipped with digital output terminals (OPTICAL/COAXIAL), you
can record the input source digitally using the MB-S1.
Connect the digital output terminals on a CD player, DVD player or
others to the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) terminals
using audio digital cables. Use the optical digital cable for
OPTICAL terminal and the coaxial digital cable for COAXIAL
terminal.
When connecting devices, be sure to use the optical digital cable
commercially available.
3. Connecting a digital audio recorder
such as MD recorder or CD recorder
When connecting a CD recorder, MD recorder or DAT deck
equipped with digital input terminals (OPTICAL), you can perform
digital recording on the external digital audio recorder.
Connect the DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal (OPTCAL) on the MB-
S1 to the digital audio recorder such as CD recorder or MD
recorder. Use an optical digital audio cable.
When connecting devices, be sure to use an optical digital cable
commercially available.
Notes
When you copy the audio source digitally, certain restrictions
will be applied. (page 14)
Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or
speaker cables. Doing so may cause deterioration of the audio
signal.
When you place the MB-S1 near a TV, the picture on the TV
may become poor and the output sound from the MB-S1 may be
distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV.
When you connect the digital audio output on a DVD player to
the DIGITAL INPUT terminals on the MB-S1, set the output
type to PCM on the DVD player.
However, the PCM output setting is not available on some DVD
players. In this case, the audio signal will not be output even if
the DVD player and the MB-S1 are connected.

Note:
For better sound quality
The power cable of the MB-S1 has polarity.
Insert the plug matching the side with white line to the longer slit on
the wall outlet.
After connecting the power cable, the MB-S1 enters the standby
state.
6. Connecting the Onkyo products
equipped with terminals
With Onkyo components that are equipped with a terminal, use
the supplied RI cable to connect the
terminal to the terminal
of the MB-S1.
The
terminals are only effective if they are used in conjunction
with an Onkyo amplifier with a
connector. Do not connect to a
component other than an Onkyo component with a
connector.
Doing so may damage the BB-S1.
The functions of the left and right terminals are the same.
Connect to either one.
Connecting the cable only does not make the system
operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.
